I was born and raised in Southern California. Graduated high school in 1975, and then went on to work.

I have been married for 24 years to my wife, have a daughter and granddaughter. In 1992 I was given an opportunutiy to transfer from a company that I worked for in California to Salem Oregon. So, given my love for Oregon I relocated my family. After a short period of time another opportunity arose, a chance to work in a small town. I started a new job with the city of Silverton in 1995 as a part time park worker, then was eventually was hired on full time. I am still with the city of Silverton, public works. I was awarded employee of the year in 1997.

I joined the Silverton Fire District as a volunteer firefighter in 1995, and was assigned to the North Abiqua station # 3. I served as a volunteer firefighter and later was promoted to Lieutenant. In 1999 I was honored by the Silverton Fire District as officer of the year.

I served as president of the Scotts Mills Firefighters Association in the years of 2000 and 2001. I was honored as firefighter of the year in 1996 and again in 2000 by the Scotts Mills Firefighters Association.

During my time as a firefighter, I also led the fight against Muscular Dystrophy ( fill the boot ). I have been highly involved in Silverton and Scotts Mills communities. I have a devotion to the town and communities in which I live and work. So, as you can see, I have had several opportunities in life, and that why it is so important to always give back.
